PLDT DSL Connection Problem :(
2008-01-22 22:38:00
We've just upgraded our account in PLDT DSL to higher plan and static IP (and higher fee) last week. Actually the speed is ok, when I try to check our internet speed our connections reaches up to 5+MBps. And I tried downloading some of the programs from our MSDNAA subscription and it took me about 1 hour to finish downloading the Visual Studio.Net image file which is about 2 gigabyte and a Windows XP Professional installation.The problem is we can't access Google and Yahoo! Luckily my email is on Hotmail! hehehe I don't know why! I thought that the configuration of the proxy of our internet server was blocking this sites but I found out that the proxy is just working fine. So I called the technical staff of PLDT and they said that they have some technical problems with these two sites due to some migration or update in their Metro Manila Servers.Well, I tried to search for the same problem (using MSN of course) and some of the feedback I've read from several forums and blogs, sa...

After reading my previous blog, that I've earn from blogging [1] :D, you've decided to monetize your blog via signing up to blog advertising websites like PPP, Smorty [2] or Blogsvertise [3].

Shopping Cart Software
2008-01-11 12:25:00
Some of my friends are planning to sell something online so they try to use multiply.com and set-up the free order form provided by freedback.com. (see my previous post regarding how to setup a multiply.com order form [1]) This setup allows them to accept orders online and receive the order via their email. The problem with this is that they can't accept payments immediately because the free order form is limited to receiving orders only from their multiply.com peers only and there's a separate system for sending and receiving payments. The solution for this kind of problem is to have a shopping cart software [2] to their website. A shopping cart software is a software used in e-commerce to assist people making purchases online and allows merchants to sell items online and accept payments via credit cards (or even via PayPal).

What can I say about Alibata?
2008-01-08 23:43:00
Honestly I was not able to encounter the term alibata during my school days in elementary, high school or even in college. Maybe because I'm busy solving chess problems during my school years or I'm only absent during that time :). Well, but I discovered lately that alibata is the ancient writing of Filipinos and I should know about alibata because I'm a true Filipino by heart and by blood. So according to my research, alibata was considered to be an extinct writing system of our country but recently, an effort was seen to revived alibata by some individuals whose goal are  to inspire nationalists and / or ethnic pride. By the way alibata is also known as "baybayin", which is a local dialect (specifically tagalog dialect) that means "to spell". Actually I've read an article from the Inquirer.net about the attempt of some of the Filipino professor to revive alibata. These professor from FEU actually teaches alibata to his students somewhere in Qui...

Thank God I'm Ok!
2008-01-08 09:54:00
Last night I almost have an accident. I thought I'll gonna die from that moment. I was passing by near the office of LTO with my motor bike. A cat passed by and I slow down so I can avoid it so I stepped on my break then I lost my balance and I almost hit a tree but luckily I got back to the road with a small scratch on my left foot. It's my lucky night because I'm driving slow, no vehicle is following me and I just got a little scratch.  From that moment, I really started to think different things. What if something happen to me, what will happen with my family, my wife and my son. Will my life just end here and then I just said o God not yet but if you really want it then so be it! Life is really unpredictable! You don't know when will you'll be taken away from this temporary form. Sorry if I post this on this blog, I guess I just want to take away the feeling of fear of what happen to me. Maybe God has so many plans for me and I'll be careful next tim...

Google Text ad Trojan

From the time I was connected to the internet at home, I become somewhat little paranoid that someone might be accessing my computer and trying to modify the settings or trying to destroy it. It's because while I'm online some of the registry entries were changed and my computer restarts for no reason. I try to check my computer if there is a virus or spyware but luckily it does not have any kind of malicious code (as far as I know). I check my windows firewall and it always turning off the next time I restart. So in this situation, I become really suspicious that there is something not right happening with my computer. That's the time that I downloaded a third party firewall software and turned off windows default firewall. The said firewall is the famous COMODO Firewall Pro and it's free. From the time I installed the program, I started to experience much better connection and I'm having an idea on what application wants to access the internet. Try this COMODO ...

Until now, the service is still not UP. Maybe it's not really for me. I do want to register for a domain and host of my own but  money is really a problem. I don't have a credit card, don't have yet. Maybe next year if God will allow it I'll try to have my own domain name and paid host registered. Well for now just "MANTINeR!" = a local dialect that means just 'STICK ON IT' because I can't do anything about it, not just yet. Well that's life!
